What type of Home theater setup do you all have?

[bcterps]

Hmmm I guess I'll weigh in.

Panasonic 27" TV (not too big, but good enough for my apartment)
Marantz SR-780 Receiver, with the awesome RC 2000 MK II Remote
Boston Acoustics System 9000 speaker system (Micro 90 front speakers, center channel, dipole surrounds, and subwoofer)
Pioneer DV-525 DVD player
Panasonic Showstopper (30 hour ReplayTV)
No VCR hehe, why would I need one?

Sharp 27N-S300 27 inch TV
Panasonic PV-4520 VCR
Kenwood VR-407 receiver
Sony CDP-CX350 300 disc CD changer

Just noticed that in the Radio Shack Catalog that came in the mail today, they are selling a 700Watt surround system with Dolby Digital + DTS for 400 bucks.

It has 100x5W per channel output = total 500 W
5 * 100W speakers (center,left(front & rear), right(front & rear)
200W sub woofer.

Sounds good to me. Only thing I dont need one right now.

What I have:

Sony DVD
Technics Amp
2 Large (15" woofers, 3" mid, 1.5" tweeters) front speakers 200W
2 micro swivel speakers for rear.
No center channel as of now, no need of sub woofer, the big woofers create enough low end to rival subs.

Unless you are an elephant, <100Hz is non directional.
I use Legacy-Audio speakers and a custom subwoofer.

Sony 27&quot; TV
Onkyo 110W DTS Receiver

Sony S-770 DVD

Anyone know anything about that Sony 32&quot; Digital Vega TV? I can't seem to find any info or reviews on it but I saw alot of places advertising it for $1,995. Is it really digital or HDTV ready?

BTW: How are those 32-36&quot; Vegas anyway?

 

[Doggiedog]

Nice system ICSVortex. I used to have Celestions too (not as good as yours though). I loved them until I blew them out having a pissing contest with the neighbors over who can be louder at 3AM. I didn't know the speakers were rated at 70W when my Amp was 140W (Doh!). Marantz system is nice too.

 

[BoberFett]

I used to have a pretty nice system. It's still nice to listen to, but it's getting long in the tooth.

Mitsubishi 27&quot; TV
Yamaha Pro Logic A/V Receiver
Samsung DVD
JVC SVHS VCR
Panasonic VCR
Technics 5 CD Carousel
Technics Dual Cassette Deck
Polk Speakers

Hey, I heard pretty bad things about sony receivers so I am going to exchange it for the Pioneer VSX-D409. What do you guys think?

<<Unless you are an elephant, <100Hz is non directional.>>

LMAO. Funny and true, how often do you see that combo?

HOT-

See previous post. Sony video good, audio bad at least in all my experience. Very expensive to repair also. (at a SONY shop)

 

[Doggiedog]

My Sony CD player conked out after a year and my friend's Sony receiver conked out after a year also.

 

[Raspewtin]

This doesn't include my music system:

Mitsubishi 60&quot; RPTV-HDTV
JVC DVD Player
TIVO - 117 hours
JVC Receiver
KLH Speakers
KLH Sub


Not bad for a very low-end system. Only the TV is not low-end, and the TIvO was free.

<< Pioneer VSX-D409. What do you guys think? >>



A friend of mine reviews these for all the magazines.
He says Pioneer actually makes them for alot of other companies.
Philips and Marantz for example. Try Etronics.com for a good price. I think they have 'em for $222.00.

 

[Optimus]

Panasonic 27in PanaBlack TV
Technics DTS/Digital Reciever (I forget the model - brand new)
Acoustic Research fronts, Optimus center, sub and rears
Playstation 2 for DVD (w/optical out)
Sanyo 4 head Hi-Fi VCR

 

[fdiskboy]

Toshiba 40&quot; TheaterWide HDTV
Harmon Kardon AVR25BLK
Infinity Speakers (Crescendo fronts, cheaper rears)
Panasonic DVDR30 DVD Player
Sony 5-Disc CD Changer
Hitachi HIFI VCR

That's it.

I'm not sure what I have; it's difficult to tell over the sea of speakers, subwoofers, and video game systems. I'm pretty sure there's a tv in there somewhere. Often when I'm untangling myself from the speaker wire my husband will put a dvd movie in and subsequently blast me out of the room with digital sound. so I'm assuming there's a dvd player in there somewhere.
My couch is a slipcovered subwoofer and my side table is a base amp.

We've got a white bedsheet pinned up and our trusy maglite as the powerhouse behind that. We're looking to upgrade to something halogen soon, it really helps to bring out the edges of the shadow puppets. For our listening enjoyment we smack pots and pans with big spoons. If we have company over, hey we got surround sound.

Seriously though, I don't even have cable

are you seriously saying that you spent $2000 on a dvd player...? honestly, do you think the picture is *that* much better that it would justify that kind of a pricetag? for that kind of price i'd expect the actors to come to my house and act the damn movie in my living room.

[Nutcase99]

None...

[HydroStream6]

syf3r,
I can't really believe ICSVortex's system is what he claims. Come on, $20k for a home theatre system? I think he is just playing us

 

[HydroStream6]

see, told ya...lol

 

[syf3r]

yeah, i was kind of suspicious, but you never know.
